I’ll never forget the feeling I had in that dressing room that day 😔

I felt defeated. Tears burned my eyes but I was ANGRY. I had just spent two hours looking for clothes with $300 in gift cards to burn and I left empty handed. I had been working so hard in the gym. SO hard on loving myself and my body. And when it came time to reward my hard work- nothing fit.
What BULLSHIT right? Here I was with new muscles, new curves and yet again society was telling me I wasn’t good enough. But you know what? In that moment, I knew that I wasn’t the problem. And I knew there had to be other women having the same problem. And so I set out to fix it for ALL of us. I’ve made a lot of mistakes. I fail every day. But every message, post and picture of women in our clothes shows me that we are doing our tiny part to change the world 💖
Have you had this problem?? Tell me all about it! 👇🏼👇🏼

BOOK RECS WANTED 📚 Do you ever feel like you’re on self-development overload?? 🙋🏻‍♀️ Always trying to be better, always trying to find the answers to make change possible— and sometimes it just gets to be too much. Sometimes you need to take a break from consuming and start applying it while you live your life. So with that said I am going to start reading fiction again 🙌🏼 I need recommendations! I love creepy twisty books like Gone Girl & Sharp Objects. I used to love James Patterson before he became a machine. I still kind of love Dan Brown. I loved Hunger Games, Mazerunner & The Host. Help!

What a stupid phrase. It’s that kind of mindset that sets people up to fail. Soooo if you miss Monday you don’t have 6 more days to get in 3-5 workouts? 🧐 If you miss a Monday, then you have to wait for the next Monday to get started?

I call bullshit. It’s Tuesday. There are 6 days of the week left. All is not lost. The earth didn’t get knocked off its axis if you didn’t make it into the gym yesterday. You can still have a great week. You can still reach your goals. You aren’t a failure. Pro Tip: It doesn’t matter what days you work out as long as you get in in and get adequate rest— you’ll be more than fine 💖

“Once I fall in love then I'll be happy
But then you fall in love and there's still a hole
Once I get some money it'll all be easy
But then you get that money, you still feel broke
Once I get a little older, I won't worry
Then you get older and it don't feel like it should
I'm thinking once I learn to grow right where I'm planted
Maybe that's when life starts getting good.” Are you waiting for that thing to happen so you can be happy? Do you think once you lose that weight, hit that PR, get that job, make X dollars or find that partner you’ll be happy? Not to be harsh but, you’re wrong. You won’t. Sure, those things can add to your happiness but they can’t create it. Only you can do that, but first you have to DECIDE and COMMIT to it.

I know, when you’ve been stuck in the same mindset for so long it’s easier said than done. It’s a process for sure and I’m still working on it every day. But you will see it gets easier, and you’ll find joy in simpler things. You deserve it today girl, and not “when.”

If you look at what I accomplished on paper in 2019, it’s a lot. It’s “impressive.”
But really it’s the equivalent of having an almost 3 year old child and then DECIDING to have QUINTUPLETS. So instead of building a sustainable second venture, I neglected my first and burnt myself out 😣
BUT I learned a lot. And really I was able to finish school and lay a light foundation for things I’ll pursue in the future. This year I plan to get more obsessed with my original business and s l o w l y roll out other things. Patience is a virtue for a reason!
So please don’t compare yourself to me or anyone else who seems like they are constantly crushing it. I’d suspect a lot of people are struggling to keep their head above water too, they just might not admit it.

Walking out of 2019 and into 2020 like...
Happy New Year friends! What a whirlwind this year was!
* Lost 15lbs
* Started a podcast
* Finished my degree
* Founded a nonprofit * Learned a ton from my biz Rebellia * Got in a healthy mental state
* And a LOT more
I definitely burnt myself a bit out in the third quarter, but it was worth it. 2020 I plan to do LESS professionally so that I can have MORE focus. I have a large main goal of growing my business, I need to finish my book and I’d like to expand my nutrition coaching. Other than that I just want to have a small social life and find more joy in my every day life.

No picture in front of the tree for us this year (it only had like 7 ornaments on it anyway and we didn’t finish decorating it 🤷🏻‍♀️) Instead Hubs & I spent the day in the mountains at the spa to re-celebrate our anniversary since he had the flu in Nashville. Such an amazing day today✨ For those of you that celebrate Christmas I hope you had a wonderful day filled with loved ones and gratitude 💖 Merry Christmas! 🎄

It could all be over in an INSTANT.
I found out last night that a friend I had loved a lot as a teen, and someone I wish I’d talked more to as an adult—was hit and ran over by a sanitation truck where he lives in NYC. He was such a light in this world and I can’t tell you how much my heart hurts. It’s not my loss— it’s his family’s, it’s the world’s.

I’m begging you. If fear or anything else is holding you back from living the life you want to be living, stop that shit right now and dive in.
Life is so precious. Say you’re sorry. Be kind when you don’t want to be. Love hard despite the possibility you might get hurt. Stop arguing on social media. And for fuck’s sake stop getting in your own way.

Any one of us could get hit by a truck tomorrow. Don’t leave anything on the table♥️
